New features

This game implements full 3D gameplay via the 3DS's 3D capabilities. It also takes advantage of the 3DS's AR functions. By recognizing different round objects, it transforms them into a Magnagate, leaving an infinite labyrinth of dungeons to be explored.

Many Unova Pokémon such as Gurdurr, Virizion, and Hydreigon are included in the game though some such as Throh and Sawk are oddly left out. Only a handful of Pokémon from previous generations appear in the game.

One of the other prominent features is mini-games, one of which is run by Beartic, though their purpose is currently unknown.

Hunger is absent from a majority of the dungeons in the game, only appearing in the final three listed dungeons after clearing the story.

There are obstacles such as a Poison Gas cloud, electricity, flames, vines, and bewitching mist that block the locked doors and certain pathways in dungeons. If a Pokémon of the type of obstacle touches the door, the obstacle will disappear. Fire-type and Water-type can eliminate the flames, Electric-type Pokémon can get rid of the electricity, Grass-type Pokémon can get rid of the vines, and Poison-type Pokémon can get rid of the Poison Gas cloud.

When it rains, hails, sandstorms, or is sunny, the player may not heal their Pokémon's HP as they are walking. However, the player can still use items to heal.

Wonder Orbs may now be used during boss battles. There are no look-alike items in the game.

After the main story-line, auras begin appearing in the dungeons. In the main dungeon selection menu, it displays the number of floors that the aura will appear. This number is different every time the player enters the dungeon. This aura comes in a variety of colors and has a variety of different affects. Some of the effects include: Lowering or raising the enemies' speed, only a certain Pokémon appearing on the floor and being the only one encountered on that floor, not being able to recover HP, weather effects appearing, enemies put to sleep, Wonder Orbs not being usable, and consumable items not being usable.

Mapless Streets and Golden Chambers are also new to the game. Mapless Streets are floors in a dungeon that do not have floor numbers. Once the player returns from the Mapless Street, the floor number they return to will be equivalent to how many floors they were gone for. Golden Chambers contain a variety of different Pokémon and items in certain dungeons.

If the player fails to complete a dungeon, none of the items in the bag are lost. The only time items are lost is if they are defeated by a Kecleon after stealing from the Kecleon Shop.

There are certain designs and shapes on the ground that have different effects in dungeons. Yellow star-like shapes allow the Pokémon to attack twice automatically with the same attack when standing on the shape. The eraser-looking shapes on the ground make items that are thrown disappear when the Pokémon is standing on it.

Many main story-line dungeons can be entered through other dungeons. Dungeons that had no recruitment during the main story-line have recruitment after completing the main story-line.

Recruited and Partner Pokémon that are not brought into a dungeon still receive experience points when the player completes dungeons. Once the Pokémon are brought into another dungeon, the recruited Pokémon will level up from the experience it had gained without being absent from the group.

Kecleon cannot be defeated if the player steals from a Kecleon shop. Attacks will not work on it. Kecleon also cannot be recruited.

Team Skills replace IQ skills that the older games had. Unlike IQ skills, Team Skills that are active affect all of the player's Pokémon. Treasure Boxes can contain new skills after being opened by Rampardos.

An Emolga appears and greets them before leaving. The Pokémon try to climb down a ladder, but the ladder breaks and they crash to the ground. As the Pokémon navigate through the dungeon and end up on the other side of the dungeon, they come upon more logs with shining stars. The Pokémon hits the logs, as they move down the waterfall and complete the bridge needed to cross the water. The Pokémon move further through the dungeon until they find crystals and bring some with them. At the end of the dungeon, the Pokémon run into a Dunsparce, as Emolga arrives and the dungeon is cleared.

After the mission, the Pokémon are given a Blast Seed, a Red Key, and 100 Poké.

Dunsparce gets rejected and runs off, as Emolga gets angry and also runs off. Virizion walks out of the store. A couple of suspicious Pawniard look on at what is going on, and walk away.

Quagsire tells the Pokémon that it saw Dunsparce speaking to the pair of suspicious Pawniard before all three walked toward a dungeon. The Pokémon decide to go after them, as Virizion looks on. The Pokémon head off to the dungeon named Desolate Canyon. After progressing through the dungeon, Pawniard and Dunsparce are shown in the cliff opening. The Pawniard make some demands, as Dunsparce tries to get away but is stopped by them. Emolga and the other Pokémon arrive to confront the Pawniard and save Dunsparce. A pair of Venipede and a pair of Galvantula appear, as the Pokémon get set to battle. Before the Pokémon can battle, Virizion, the pair of Timburr, and Gurdurr appear. The Pokémon, Virizion, Emolga, and Dunsparce have a battle with the Pawniard, Venipede, and Galvantula. After defeating the boss Pokémon, Galvantula, Venipede, and Pawniard run away. Emolga, Dunsparce, and Virizion decide to join the other Pokémon. Emolga isn't happy about Virizion joining. The Pokémon exit the dungeon.

The next day, Emolga, Virizion, Dunsparce, and Pelipper greet the Pokémon outside of their home. The player then chooses a team name for the Pokémon and Pelipper flies away. Quagsire appears and shows the Pokémon that Scraggy now owns a shop at the crossroad area where Pokémon can forget and remember their moves. Pelipper drops a treasure chest, as the Pokémon open it up. The chest contains a team bag, a one-page letter, and a team badge for using Everyone Attack. The Pokémon head to the next dungeon called Forest Grotto for their next mission. On the 7F, the Pokémon use the newly usable Everyone Attack prior to exiting the dungeon.

The next day, an explosion is heard. Gurdurr sees that Scraggy now owns a shop. Gurdurr shows the Pokémon that it has its own shop now as well. Gurdurr lets the Pokémon know that they can check the notice board for other missions they can take. The player decides on a mission to go on, and goes to a previous dungeon to complete it. After completing a mission, there is a message on the screen that says "Great Job".

Victini is displayed with a colorful background during its appearance.

The other Pokémon become annoyed by the posing, but Victini is allowed to stay. Victini does some dancing and spinning around. The Pokémon can now go to a dungeon called Ravine Path for a mission. That night, the Pokémon has a dream that has sound effects, a small flash, and a large purple flash with shock waves and someone calling out for help. The Pokémon wakes up from the dream, and thinks about what they saw and heard during it after checking on the partner Pokémon. The Pokémon recalls the first dream about Hydreigon chasing a Munna, and wonders if the Munna might be the one asking for help. The next day, the partner Pokémon wakes up and notices that the other Pokémon is still awake.

After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, Dunsparce shows the Pokémon an ice-covered area in the distance. After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, an unknown figure moves through bushes toward the Pokémon Paradise. The moon is shown shining above and through the Pokémon's house. The Pokémon has another dream, this time with a voice calling their name and calling out for help.

Quagsire approaches them and hands the Pokémon some Poké. The Pokémon notice that the Pokémon Paradise is now empty. They go into Swanna's store and give it the Poké Quagsire gave to them.

After being defeated, Kyurem collapses to the ground.

After defeating Kyurem, the player first arrives in the room where the Glacial Body lurks. The Glacial Body unleashes a powerful force that greatly weakens the player's partner and falls to the ground. Fortunately the player is unaffected by the powerful force that the Glacial Body exerts, so the player has to fight the Glacial Body alone throughout the entire battle. The playable Pokémon moves very slowly toward the Glacial Body, as it becomes more and more difficult. All of the Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise and Kyurem yell for the playable Pokémon to keep going and take it down. All of the Pokémon outside of the Glacier Palace - Big Crystal Tower cheer the playable Pokémon on as well.

During the start of the battle, the Glacial Body will be immune to any damage dealt to it. The Glacial Body unleashes three different attacks each time the playable Pokémon tries to attack. After using several attacks, the battle stops and the Pokémon realizes that it can't attack.

The playable Pokémon is able to now attack and defeat it. The Glacial Body will shatter and explode, as the darkness disappears from the Glacier Palace Crystal Tower once again. Then the player's partner will get back up again, the palace starts to crack and break apart and palace also starts falling from the sky. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise become very worried about everyone in the palace. The playable and player Pokémon end up in a different colorful area, as Kyurem appears and roars. The Pokémon end up back at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon, Umbreon, Emolga, Keldeo, and Virizion are glad to see that they are okay. Dunsparce appears and is also relieved. The Pokémon go to the hill, as they see the rainbow in the sky. Hydreigon's spirit suddenly appear, which shocks everyone. Gurdurr, Swanna, and Quagsire appear and are happy to see everyone, as they inform the rest of the Pokémon. All of the Pokémon cry and are very happy that everyone is okay.

The Pokémon have a fire and celebrate. The Pokémon also celebrate in Swanna's shop. Hydreigon speaks to the playable Pokémon at the top of the hill, as a flashback is shown of the partner Pokémon speaking to it earlier. The next day, the playable Pokémon thinks about its partner, as it walks outside. A flashback is shown of them confronting Gurdurr in the Heat Haze Pass dungeon, and them beginning to build Pokémon Paradise in the beginning. The playable Pokémon goes back to the hill and speaks to Hydreigon again and becomes surrounded by a yellow orb, as they float into the sky. The Pokémon float around and look down on the Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon look to the sky, which surprises the playable Pokémon. They continue floating toward the sky and keep looking down at the Pokémon, as they then look out at the large rainbow in the sky.

Hydreigon floats down, as a crystallized rock with a voice inside appears in front of the playable Pokémon. The partner Pokémon, Espeon, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Quagsire, Swanna, Gurdurr, Herdier and Emolga speak to the playable Pokémon through the crystallized rock. Again a flashback is shown of the playable and partner Pokémon talking and being happy in front of their house. A flashback is shown of everyone watching the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon float to the sky. The playable Pokémon begins to cry, as the credits begin to run with a scene of the rainbow, the playable Pokémon floating, and an overhead view of the world being shown.

After the main story-line

The player starts out as their partner Pokémon for several days until they complete the World's Navel and make a wish for their playable Pokémon to return. The player decides whether to return or not and evolution may not happen until they return to Pokémon Paradise. After the player returns to Pokémon Paradise and completes one dungeon, both Pokémon and recruited Pokémon may now evolve if the player chooses to evolve them inside of dungeons. The leading Pokémon may also be changed as well.

Quagsire: Like Chimecho of the previous games, Quagsire will be able to add members to the player's team for dungeon explorations as well as view stats and other vital information of each Pokémon that the player has recruited.
